Pantmawr Inn in Cardiff

Always a fab time at the Pantmawr. Mostly visit on a Sunday. A great service with great food

Had the most wonderful Christmas lunch today at The Pantmawr Inn. Many thanks to Sue and all the staff!

Had a meal last night, 6 of us, new menu. I had the Alabama Burger, it was fabulous. Everyone loved their food and service was spot on. Smashed it again Pantmawr Inn. We will be back.

Fabulous locL pub with garden loads of space for children to run around food is terrific 😀

The food is now excellent again. The meals we had were delicious, served piping hot and service was quick. We really like this pub and we are so glad that the food and service are now back to a high standard.

First time at this pub, attended for a 40th birthday party, its a hidden gem in the middle of Rhiwbina. Lovely place to visit with extensive garden area if you have children.

Absolutely outstanding food, it was that good that I said to my husband, if I was ever offered a final meal, I think it'd be that one!! Hot, fresh and quick, and staff were lovely. Really, really impressed

Everything was good value and enjoyed the food will be using again.

Looking forward to going back soon

We held our family gathering after my mother in law's funeral. Everything was ready for us. Food was excellent and plenty. Maybe a few more trays of sandwiches and crisps but that's about it. Food was fresh. Needed more paper plates though. Staff were excellent. Drinks excellent value too. Thank you to all the staff for making it a pleasurable few hours.

Had my son’s birthday celebration at the Pantmawr Inn, ordered a hot buffet and it was absolutely outstanding! All freshly prepared and actually served ‘hot’. Went down a storm with family and friends. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make his birthday memorable. Huge big thank you to Jen and her amazing team, highly recommended xxx

Great Sunday lunch yesterday. Good service, plentiful food that tasted great. Will return.

Five family members enjoyed Sunday lunch yesterday. The food was excellent with generous portions of meat and vegetables.The quality of the meal was first rate with a pleasing variety of choices available on the menu. Service was slick and very cheerful. Since the place was busy it was quite noisy which made it difficult at times to hear what was being said at the table and it was impossible to ignore the large TV screens placed in the main room. Do diners really need to watch TV during Sunday lunch? Perhaps the screens were switched on for the very small number of people who simply came in for a drink.However, overall, it was a good experience but next time we'll ask for a place in the conservatory. We'll certainly go again!

Sunday lunch was amazing. Considering there were 18 of us, they handled the service superbly. Would definitely recommend staff were amazing 👏

The Sunday roast was fabulous. Staff were friendly and attentive, and catered for our every need. My family had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning. Recommend the beef, it was delicious. Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous pub old worldly great playing area for children. Food is exceptional with a very varied menu. Sunday lunch is fabulous book ahead early as very popular. Staff are exceptional.

We were celebrating a 50th birthday party and 2 other birthdays and we were a family group of 18 people. From the moment we stepped through the door the staff were amazing and so friendly. The food was AMAZING! I had the beef Sunday dinner and it was scrumptious the meat was so tender. We had a plate of veg on the table to share and there was nothing left at the end of our meal. We all thought it was so tasty. We will most definitely be back!!!! Thank you Pantmawr for the most fabulous day. Highly recommended and very reasonable price wise too.

On arrival there was plenty of parking space, families were enjoying the outdoor area and inside was quite busy. The atmosphere was good, we were greeted with a smile and having confirmed our reservation, were invited to take a seat and have our drinks order taken at the table. The menu was attractive, concise, clean and the prices very reasonable. Our drinks and food orders were taken swiftly by yet more friendly staff and we were told there would be a bit of a wait for our food. Drinks were good, the tables and cutlery were also clean and we were pleased our food arrived sooner than we anticipated, within 15/20 minutes. The braised brisket was tender, flavourful and plentiful and the chicken moist. All vegetables were well cooked, the stuffing soft and delicious and the gravy was outstanding, clearly made from scratch using meat juices. We witnessed all staff engaging with the patrons, scanning the room to ensure service was provided as and when needed. Everyone was friendly and efficient. Then we ordered tiramisu with cream and it was fantastic, made in house. This was our second visit in recent months and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The team at The Pantmawr is doing a great job and in my experience beat other more salubrious establishments in the food department hands down. Well done to everyone.

Shame about this pub! The last few visits have been awful. The food being wrong the staff being undertrained. Not sure whats happened. Hopefully things can improve and return to the way it used to be.

Great service and the Sunday dinner was amazing

Best pub in the Diff! Foods great … great value for money! Staff are always on point friendly nothing too much trouble. Thanks again for another stunning Sunday roast👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️

Delicious Sunday roast at a great price service friendly and attentive. Lovely to relax under canopy in the beer garden.

Waited an hour for probably the worst meal ever in a pub. Staff were all young kids, not an adult insight behind the bar. So no supervision. This is what was served up. Luke warm as well. My meal last week. These were the chips from another pub

Awful. Absolute chaos with no-one actually knowing what was happening. Everyone seemed to want to be behind the bar. No communication. No customer front of house bar service. Ordered food. And they got that wrong. Wrong sauce in wrong food items that countered the menu. Had to chase mains on more than one occasion. Then they asked if we had had the starters. Mains appeared after another chase. Steak was woefully under cooked. Another chase and still no sign so gave up hope, and asked for bill for what we consumed. Bill then had steak, and other items we hadn’t ordered or consumed. Final bill was 50% less than first presented just to show how wrong they got it. Never even again. Simply awful service. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. A real shame as we like supporting local businesses. But this was worse than amateur hour.

Roast Sunday lunch was OK. It's not as hot as should have been. The roasts were either frozen or not great potatoes and not roasted well. As they were not at all as usual roasts elsewhere and dry, as was the Yorkshire. The beef was lovely. There was too long delay when the vegetables (as above half eaten) and gravy were then served separately. It's always a silly idea, in my view, as this happens. The staff were very good and friendly and a very nice place. I will try again, hoping this was a one-off.

Great pub great food staff very attentive and friendly plus 2 for 1 on Mondays have booked for my birthday in April for 21 people that's how much I like it.

Second time we have visited this pub for Sunday lunch and wasnt impressed either time food is bland and tastless and the veg was too hard and there was a few of us all with the same disappointment but Gave it a go a second time and the same if not worse than first time. Staff were lovely but unfortunately won’t be going back in a hurry as we can cook better at home. Shame but hopefully they can sort it out as it was very quiet for a Sunday so perhaps others haven’t rated it either

We were all pleased with our meals

First time here. Went with some friends of mine who have been here many times before and said how good it was. However it was a shambles really. First of all they ran out of chips so changed to a jacket potato which was way undercooked, inedible, then people who arrived only a short while after us, were being served their food with chips? The Food came out at very different times, one order forgotten completely. The sauces ordered to go with the steaks came out way after our food so was no use. Just a real mess to be honest. Let’s hope not improves when I do return at some stage in the future.

Guys, what's happened? We've been coming here as our #1 local for 3 years after moving to the area. We love the pub and the food. However, we've been 3 times in the last 3 weeks, it's been an absolute mess. ***3 weeks ago*** Table of 8 for a birthday meal, we all ordered food, and mine came out with a different meal. Staff said they would take it back and give me a new one. 10 minutes later, they returned to say they didn't have what I ordered. They offered a substitute with an extra patty and would take it off the bill. I got my food when the other 7 finished their food. I did appreciate the compensation and how they tried to make up for it, but I'd rather pay full price for food on time. ***2 weeks ago (Sun approx 1 pm)*** After a family walk, we stopped in, and there was only one other table in the pub. We ordered two starters and two mains. The starters were great, and then two mains came out. Again, my order was wrong. A new lad was taking the order, and a supervisor was with him to help take it, which was good to see, but even more confusing was that two people were there taking my order for it to come out wrong—when there was only one other table eating. We also overheard apologies to the other table and refunds given since their order was wrong. I was asked if I still wanted the meal (which was totally different on the menu). I declined and was advised that it would take at least 10 minutes to get my order. We had 2 kids under 2 with us, so this wasn't an option. I got refunded with an apology. But again, it was such a poor visit. ***Last Night*** Then, last night! I booked a table for x7 - I've raved about the food to friends who have travelled down to Cardiff. Our table was reserved, and that was great. Cutlery and the table were laid on arrival, which was great. I took 10 minutes to note everyone's order, so I would make one big order at the bar to make things as easy as possible (I know how hard hospitality can be!). When I got to the bar, I was told, "We're only serving sides." I was shocked and laughed, as this was strike 3 in as many weeks, and I couldn't believe my recent luck with the Pantmawr (or the consistency of poor visits). We were then told, "We can serve food, but no chips." That's a shame when the chips are normally incredible! We substituted the meals with chips with a jacket potato, but some of us changed meals completely for those without chips. There were seven food orders. Six came out. They forgot one order (the first to order) and apologised. His food came out when the six of us had finished. All jackets came out microwaved and undercooked. Two sauces were ordered with the steaks; the sauces did not arrive until we finished our food. One out of four meals actually came with chips—chip roulette! We then saw people ordering food after us, and their food came out with chips—we were just laughing at this point with bemusement. A round of drinks was offered, but we weren't looking for free drinks (although the value of these drinks would have worked out better for us!) We were offered 20% off the bill, which we reluctantly accepted. However, when we went to pay, we saw that 20% only applied to the meals, not the sides, which seemed poor given the circumstances. 3 of us paid full price for our meals because we were happy. But overall, it was just a shower of "chip" last night, a Thursday night. I'm leaving this review because we usually love this pub. But something has happened recently (a lot of new and part-time staff), and we don't want it to continue this way or worsen - so it comes from a good place. Looking forward to updating this review when things return to how they used to be!

Table booked for 7pm. Waited over an hour for food & then told 10 minutes before it arrived there was no rice to go with curry. Meals lukewarm, chips like cardboard. Staff were indifferent sitting around bar, did not ask how meal was, likely they knew service and food was poor as didn't even collect plates. Been coming to Pantmawr for years but definitely not again.

Don't answer the phone so we walked there in the rain - to find no tables available.

Can get busy on a weekend. Book if you want a table inside.

The food didn’t arrive for one of our party . After an hour we spoke to a person who looked like a manager ( older than the other staff) He went off and didn’t come back .Fiteen minutes later the food arrived but the three of us had finished so we sent it back. Another 15 minutes later with no contact from any staff or an apology I went and explained the situation to a young barman . I said it’s not your fault but we would like a refund on the one meal which he then went and got for us . We left very disappointed . It spoilt the whole evening .Its not too much to expect to all eat at the same time and at the very least the manager should have spoken to us and not expect younger staff to have to cope with dissatisfied customers .

Good fun on Halloween for the children. And me.

Had a gorgeous meal tonight, one of the best I’ve had at the Pantmawr, from the Mexican night menu. Thank You 😋😋

Slow food service and disappointing food. Inexperienced waiting staff, needed prompting for condiments and cutlery. Lovely garden with great slide but not really suitable for toddlers as difficult to climb

Lisa looked after us all afternoon. Thanks!

Waited half hour for our table which I can understand it’s busy but it took far too long to take our food orders and when we didn’t want desert we got asked why ? Which was odd. Food is average but it’s not expensive so you get what you pay for. I won’t give it one star because the beef was at least decent. Lastly I would also like to add the waiting staff are dressed inappropriately for serving food with crop tops and looked like gym attire this is the first time I’ve saw this at any restaurant

Lovely pub, hard to find if your not a local in Cardiff, the staff was lovely food was beautiful, compliments to the chef...

Wonderful menu with plenty of choice.

Table booked for 19.45pm. While waiting for two more guest to arrive at 19.53, the waitress announced we had to order by 20.00 as the kitchen was closing! Order for four was placed the other two arrived as she walked away but the waitress came back and hurriedly took their order! Food arrived quickly was pretty bland. When desserts were offered it was we have just one of this one of that and icecream. Three orders placed and two delivered, the third was a sorry we couldn't defrost it quickly! Wouldn't go again.

Our first visit here. My sister and I arrived 15 minutes before kitchen closure so to be honest we were not expecting much. We ordered two curries half and half and WOW! ... I couldn't believe my eyes when they arrived at the table. They looked beautifully presented on the plate and tasted as good as they looked. Friendly staff and dog friendly. I have a well behaved little yorkie cross but it can be hard to enjoy going places with her as dog friendly can be difficult to find. We will definitely be back to try the Sunday roast.

One of the few real pubs in Cardiff. Great food, friendly staff

Six of us were there today and all food was excellent. Rump steaks, liver, scampi and fish dishes were cooked to perfection and ample portions. Will be returning.

Lovely cosy pub. Lovely homemade food, brilliant service - brilliant all round . Ps. The Biscoff Cheesecake is an absolute must 😉

Very good service,friendly and efficient.Beer prices acceptable, pub clean and tidy.

Nice pub. Went for the Sunday roast. Service was good, portion size good, meat, veg and meal in general was good. But I think the potatoes were frozen, they'd ran out of a few things and the wait was an hour.

Good burger made great by pulled pork. All burgers need guerkin which was sadly missing. 10/10 guinness

Amazing food, great prices, friendly staff. Would definitely return x

Just a great place to go for lunch.

My family and I went to the Pantmawr Inn on Sunday for Sunday lunch; there were about 10 of us attending. Overall it was a fairly standard procedure - no frills and got the job done - but i wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. There are better places in Cardiff to go for Sunday Roast (at any price range). Food: I had pate and toast to start. The pate was okay (a bit too course for my liking), but the toast was terrible. I didn’t realise bread was such a hot commodity right now because with the 4 scant quarters I was rationed, you’d think the Germans were back flying overhead. I had the beef Sunday roast for my main. This was fairly good actually. The beef was tender (although not nice thin slices like you’d expect but rather a slow cooked thing - nice either way). The veg was good. However the roast potatoes were truly abysmal. It was almost like they’ve never selected a roasting potato before because these tasted and felt like undercooked peeled baked potatoes. They weren’t crispy at all and they felt raw in the centre, and they were huge as well so you couldn’t even try and be polite and attempt to finish them. Staff/service: We were left without cutlery after our starters so had to wait a while after our mains were served before we could eat. The wait time for service was already quite long, so this last minute hurdle before eating was particularly frustrating. I asked one of the waitresses if they served mushy peas with the fish and chips rather than garden peas and she said no (which influenced my decision to go for the roast)… later I saw many other diners with mushy peas! Put the option of “mushy or garden” on the menu to limit your staffs’ confusion perhaps? Lastly, why don’t you have some sort of uniform for your waiters/waitresses? Half the staff were walking around in sports gear (tight gym stuff) which just wasn’t nice to have around near the dining table. I’m sure they were clean but I’ve seen that sort of attire in my local gym and it just reminded me of sweat.

Missing some team players I know lisa has left and Holly is doing her best but she wasn't there today and was missed

Tasty Sunday lunch, great atmosphere too. Location is good with plenty of parking.

Fabulous pub food great, atmosphere great. Staff excellent. This pub has changed beyond recognition since Jen and James took over. Best pub in the area by far.

To be honest the service was extremely slow, but I didn't mind because the stuff was very friendly and nice, the venue is great and the food was excellent!

Birthday/fathers day meal great food ect thankyou

I have visited this pub for special occasions a few times now. I booked for last Saturday over telephone and offered to call back Friday with orders to make life easier for the pub. Called Friday and asked to do via email, no email address provided sp did via the contact us form, arrived on Saturday and asked the bar lady had they received our order and was told yes. 15 of us waited and eventually were told the order had not been received. We sat in the conservatory and waited over 25 minutes before my daughter approached a waitress. Regardless of being told we would receive a free bottle of wine, this was my dad's 81 st birthday celebration and six children were not even given their desserts. You asked for me to prove I had sent this order which I didn't have to do anyway! This pub is lovely but your staff need the correct training to make sure your customers are looked after. So unfair on a family looking forward to a day out. AND NO WE DIDN'T WANT DISCOUNT WE WANTED OUR MEALS!!

This was the first time visiting the Pantmawr Inn. There were 15 of us, not enough staff, food was rushed so I brought mine back up after 3 hours as not cooked properly. I loved the place just not the food...

Never again, had made a booking few weeks ago and had booked the conservatory. When arrived we were in the bar which was very noisey and had to raise our voices to be heard. The food was all overcooked and chips were like something you get at the end of the night from a fish shop. They stop serving at 8 which is poor so we went to Toby carvery and had desserts there.

I would like to recommend this pub for customers service. I have pancreatic cancer so special dietary requirements told no problem just tell us how we can help. Always talk to staff and enjoy the lovely pub

We came here today for the first time and will definitely be coming back! The food is lovely and of excellent quality ! Staff are very friendly. The landlady was very welcoming and gave me a free drink after I spilled mine. Really lovely pub and great atmosphere 😀

Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was amazing!

Haven't been here for years. Nice atmosphere, wood fire and good staff.

Really nice and cosy, good food and service

Lovely place, very good food,would recommend it every time

Excellent food, staff and lovely beer garden

Very nice food really enjoyed my time there and the staff are very friendly and excellent service highly recommend to everyone

My child was kicked & bitten, & bullied by 5 other children, whose parents were not supervising them. The staff at the pub who I complained to asked me to leave. Either they were personal friends with the family of bullies, or favoured the family because they spent so much money on alcohol. I did not feel safe with my child. I will not be going back there. Which is a shame as my son was really getting on with the landlords 6 year old, who was also being bullied by the pack of feral kids!

Food excellent . Very relaxed atmosphere

Lovely home cooked food .Great atmosphere good place for kids x

Birthday night out with my friend, Fantastic food, friendly staff, I had Rump steak and all the trimmings ,medium rare,. very well cooked My friend has surf and turf also very well cooked a good selection of wines and spirits. I recommend this place for a good night out, various style rooms also garden good for all ages. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch for my parents 70th birthday, Staff we’re welcoming and went above and beyond to make our experience a good one. Great food, great location and amazing staff!! Would definitely recommend.

Stunning food ! And stunning place !

Friendly service, food was served really quick, was very tasty and steak cooked as requested. Very nice local bub we discovered by accident as we are not from this area

After seeing a few negative reviews given last year, I felt I should give a well earned positive review of this wonderful pub. The management have tried their best to keep the place going, and to maintain the high standards in very trying circumstances. I cannot fault anything - the food is always excellent, the staff are lovely and the atmosphere is fantastic. Family and dog friendly too. Well worth a visit for a country pub feel in a city. Booking recommended if you are planning to eat!

Came to The Pant Mawr for our three course Christmas meal this year lovely pub, great atmosphere and was really impressed with the meal would definitely recommmend as they are welcoming and our server don't know his name was so smiley and helpful will definitely be back next year

Best pub in Cardiff....well its up there for me anyway. Fantastic food, fantastic staff!! The decorations are up so as you can imagine with that and the open log fire we didn't want to leave. Went for a walk with friends, came into a lovely warm friendly atmosphere and had the best food! Thank you

Welcoming pub, decent beers and food

I cannot praise this place enough. Clean, staff are great and the food is second to none and so reasonably priced. It is a gem and definitely worth visiting. We want to go back to the area just to go back here

Had a fantastic meal at the Pantmawr with family. Everything we had was lovely. The chicken strips for starters were very tasty, then two Stilton beef briskets, a beef & Guinness pie and fish and chips were great. Followed by sticky toffee pudding and fudge cake. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good value lovely food.

Food wasn't good overpriced dirty cutlery staff were children trying to run a pub beer was flat not going back their ever sorry guys can get better fish an chips from the frozen ffod in aldis

Lovely pub, great staff and fantastic food. Fantastic value for money.

We hadn’t been to the Pantmawr Inn for sometime due to travel restrictions from Ireland so we were delighted to see that it is now even better than ever. There are many more seating options, from the usual pub/restaurant area to a bright conservatory and marquee. The menu has a wide selection of options, the food was delicious, and the service friendly and attentive.

Great local pub, family friendly with a huge beer garden and loads of outside space. Decent pint too

Booked a table to celebrate my sons GCSE results. We were told that certain products were not available due to delivery not turning up yet. That’s fine but we did come for what we were told was the best fish and chips in Cardiff. Lunch time menu was very limited and several of the items were unavailable in the end. We were told no chicken, no ham, no baguettes. but they did have hake. So we ordered the fish and chips (which we were looking forward to) 10 mins later one of the bar staff said that the hake wouldn’t be defrosted in time for us to have it …. Yummy frozen fish… so we ordered burgers instead (which were absolutely lovely with home cooked chips) we were told there would be a 30min wait, yep that’s great. An hour and 10 minutes and our food was delivered …. Now I understand there are hospitality issues with Covid etc but there was 2 other tables eating the same time and several bar staff. I have been a landlady myself so am fully aware of the issues that can happen. But rule number one is communicate with your customer. Waitress came out and didn’t stop apologising to the table behind us and they waited half the time we did ! And please no sarky management response something clearly went wrong today and no apology was made not even a round of drinks to apologise. Very poor sorry Oh and a waffle menu for dessert ? I ended up driving to the supermarket on the way home to get something decent ‍♀️

We visited this establishment on Sunday 8th August. We were greeted pleasantly and were taken to our pre-booked table. There was a choice of 1 course roast dinner for £10 or a 2 course dinner with desert for £13. The food arrived within 10-15 mins of ordering and it was served hot and fresh with veg on a separate dish. I have had quite a few roast dinners out and I have to say this is one of the best, I’d happily pay £10 for the quality roast dinner I had here again and again. Absolutely brilliant, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back on a Sunday afternoon

Firstly, service was very slow and customer service not the best. Our waitress was actually quite rude at times! I do understand that it’s been a difficult year and perhaps they are new members of staff so can let this go. However, we pre ordered meals for a special birthday occasion with the family. More than half of these meals were wrong. Then the waitress read out the list (that they had written themselves) and insinuated that we were wrong. We had our order with us on our phone in black & white and we definitely weren’t wrong! There was a vague apology but nothing more and we ate the meals we had been given. Food was very nice and good portions. We would love to return but there are definitely things that need improvement.

Our son lives in Whitchurch and a trip to The Pantmawr was always something to look forward to.We have just had dinner there and what has happened? Not an adult in sight. Only two people behind the bar with, perfectly understandable, table service. But why only 2 people.Now a very limited menu and even then the Lasagne was not available and this was at 6 pm.No pineapple on the gammon which admittedly I did not say anything about but by this time we were tired of wondering what had happened to, what was, such a great boozer.The online reviews are dated 2015. Why so old unless the pub, like the reviews, is stuck in the past.Really disappointed and WE WILL NOT BE BACK.

Drove into car park looked at all the scruffy mess in the car park lots of chairs and rubbish made a bad impression . on us e walked up to the garden outside was so scruffy. We decided not to go in. There was rope holding things together. Not a good curbside impression so we left.

We visited on fathers day, hoping for a nice family meal out. We waited 20 minutes for menus to be printed and then we were presented with a board showing the options for roast. On asking if there was any other choice or just roast we were told that was it. The turkey was dry and the gravy was lumpy. On leaving we noticed other tables had sausages and burgers and at that point we were told there was a kids menu available. Considering our party had 4 children in you would of thought they would of told us this earlier especially as we had asked about other options.

Lovely Sunday dinner and amazing pudding at a good price.

We were hoping for a special father's day lunch with friends at a family friendly pub.Upon arrival our table wasn't ready. We then waited in excess of 20 minutes for a menu due to an issue with the printer. We were then told we could have beef, turkey or nut roasts. We enquired if there were any option aside from roast for us or the children and were advised that only roasts are available on a Sunday. The food was OK, and portions were certainly large but the gravy was lumpy and turkey was dry. Upon leaving we noted that other families had burgers, sausages etc. My husband returned to enquire and was advised that there is indeed a children's menu with a range of alternatives that our children would have preferred available at the bar-my husband had asked about menus at the bar upon arrival!They were experiencing staff shortages and the manager was friendly and ensured our meals came promptly but despite this we wouldn't return.

We've always liked the Pantmawr but our recent visit was awful. Sticky table to start with - asked for it to be cleaned which fell on deaf ears. It was a busy Friday afternoon with only two staff serving behind the bar and waiting tables. Food arrived after around 30 minutes. Jacket potato with tuna and mayo - no butter on the jacket potato and had to use 5 sachets of mayo! Two burgers were cremated and one hunter's chicken was average. Waited 20 minutes for our desserts by which time another member of staff had appeared.

The pub is well suited to locals who will obviously put up with any poor service, because it's an oasis of local.You have an isolated local pub with lots of beers,tv screens, young waitresses whose IQ is do low,they can't find a wine bottle with a wooden spoon sticking out of it with a number written on it.Ordered two burgers.Burgers arrived.Pink inside.Queried this,and sent food back.Same food reappeared one minute later,told by Manageress, The burger meat is red, because of the red dye,the Wholesalers put in it.Red dye in food???Chips green and black.I stopped my daughter, grandson from eating them..Can't be bothered going on about how bad this place is.Avoid at all cost.

Lovely old pub which has had housing built all around it over the years, so there is no passing trade. Big car park, plenty of outdoor tables, friendly and efficient staff. Whats not to like?

Went with my husband for a meal. Large portion sizes, very tasty chips. Excellent table service. A very enjoyable meal, we sat in the conservatory. Husband had the fish and chips, a large piece of fish, I had the gammon steak with egg, the gammon nearly covered the plate. Felt very safe there.

Was down from Scotland working so it was nice to find a friendly pub with a great pint.

Especially as it was part of the eat out deal extended locally! Excellent hake and chips, which we all had !
